Creative packaging design from Japan transforms an ordinary salt bottle into a cute panda character.

Designed for Ajinomoto’s famous umami seasoning and salt products, the bottle uses the white granules inside to create the appearance of a panda.

Simple red graphic elements printed on the bottle form panda’s face.

With only a handful of graphic elements and a transparent bottle, Ajinomoto designers created something instantly recognizable.
